If more Awakened Ones in Kangcheng could be equipped with such mounts, their overall combat strength would be elevated to an unimaginable level.
But Li Yu also knew that the growth and reproduction of these giant spiders seemed to follow a special pattern, and the speed was not fast. Moreover, they were extremely dependent on this dense fog environment.
Zhao Mutou had also told him that even though the spiders had been tamed by them, they could leave the foggy area for a short time.
However, once they leave the dense fog environment, the spiders will clearly show signs of restlessness and a desire to return.
Given these limitations, the idea of large-scale deployment can only be put on hold for now.
After inspecting the cavalry battalion, Li Yu, accompanied by Ma Yuanbai, went to the mine stronghold halfway up the mountain behind Kangcheng.
Before even arriving, Li Yu could see several three-story watchtowers standing on the mountainside, some even equipped with fixed defensive weapons, their dark gun barrels pointing into the distance.
Upon arriving at the outpost, the once chaotic mine entrance was now surrounded by neat supports, and even most of the tracks used to transport ore had been laid out, extending out of the mine tunnel. It was impossible to tell that the outpost in front of them had been built in just ten days.
Not only has the entrance to the mine been widened by two times, becoming more spacious and sturdy, but the various buildings of the multi-functional outpost outside the mine, as designed in the blueprints, have also been basically completed.
Even Li Yu was quite surprised by the astonishing speed of construction.
He had previously seen the design drawings provided by Ma Yuanbai, which were planned to the highest specifications and practical standards, and the building area was quite large.
It's nothing short of a miracle that the main construction was completed so quickly.
Seeing Li Yu's surprised expression, Ma Yuanbai quickly stepped forward with a smile, pointing to Huang Shasha, who was intently directing the workers to move the last batch of materials in an open space not far away, his tone full of admiration:
"It's all thanks to Miss Huang Shasha's help! Her abilities are simply amazing. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she can turn lead into gold and transform the rotten into the miraculous."
Li Yu looked in the direction he pointed and saw Huang Shasha standing in front of a pile of building materials, her eyes slightly closed, her hands gently raised, and an invisible, powerful energy wave immediately rippled around her.
The next second, the materials and stones piled in front of Huang Shasha quickly condensed and took shape, precisely assembling at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The framework of a massive building rose from the ground, the walls quickly closed, and the roof beams automatically erected to complete the structure.
The whole process was very fast, full of a strange sense of power and fluidity.
Upon closer inspection, Li Yu realized that the building was exactly the same as the blueprint, indicating that this was not the first time Huang Shasha had done this.
Sensing Li Yu's approaching presence, Huang Shasha did not stop, but continued to focus on adjusting the position of each piece of material until the building frame was completely stable and the last structural node was firmly in place. Only then did she slowly lower her hand and gently exhale.
This level of "creation" is quite demanding for her, but she has become quite skilled at it.
Li Yu only then realized that Huang Shasha actually possessed architect-like abilities, which was why the base's construction progressed so quickly.
Although he didn't ask Huang Shasha to do anything, she still got involved and helped with the construction.
After Huang Shasha activated her ability, a massive building rose from the ground and was quickly completed.
While Li Yu was amazed, she couldn't help but think to herself, no wonder even an old monster like the Soul Master, who had lived for countless years, coveted her and regarded her as one of the keys to his continued existence.
If it weren't for his appearance, Huang Shasha would have been the best choice for the Soul Master.
Moreover, Li Yang, the city lord of Yangcheng, once said that the architect's abilities would be valued anywhere in Zhongzhou.
Zhongzhou had already recruited all those with relevant abilities and even formed a team of architects, which is why Zhongzhou was able to build so many large cities with skyscrapers in the rain.
“I have already given Huang Shasha the highest treatment, even exceeding that of the battalion commanders, and she will enjoy special talent allowances,” Ma Yuanbai suddenly said.
Huang Shasha's value is far greater than it appears on the surface. He also saw the terrifying nature of this ability, so he took it upon himself to offer her the highest treatment, wanting to firmly bind Huang Shasha to Kangcheng.
Li Yu simply smiled upon hearing this and offered no explanation.
After all, Huang Ya was fully cooperating on the other side of the underground world, and Huang Shasha would never abandon her brother and leave Kangcheng.
However, given that she possesses such abilities, it is only natural to treat her with the highest honors.
After Huang Shasha withdrew her power, Li Yu walked over and greeted her with a smile:
"Thank goodness for you, I didn't expect I would have to do it myself."
Huang Shasha turned around upon hearing the voice, then smiled shyly: "Brother Li Yu, you've arrived."
“I just did what I could. When I was helping out with my brother before, I often used my abilities to help people build houses and fix things. I never thought it would come in handy here.”
"Not only did it come in handy, but it was also a great help. The fact that this base was built so quickly is largely due to your contribution," Li Yu said earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Huang Shasha lowered her head in embarrassment.
Just then, Chen Hai led several dust-covered Rock-type Awakened Ones out of the mine. Upon seeing Li Yu, he immediately walked over:
"The city lord has arrived."
Li Yu turned to look at the widened mine entrance behind Chen Hai: "Has the main mine tunnel inside been repaired as well?"
"Alright." Chen Hai nodded, then looked at Huang Shasha beside Li Yu, his face filled with disbelief and emotion:
“Many places in the mine had collapsed before, and there was also a large area of water seepage. We originally planned to spend half a month cleaning and repairing it, but Huang Shasha used her abilities to fill in all the collapsed areas. She not only reinforced the collapsed areas, but also rebuilt and connected the broken support structures.”
"Later, with the help of several other earth-element awakened individuals, she even took the opportunity to plan and build a drainage culvert, and now it's no problem to walk to the deepest part of the old mine tunnel."
Chen Hai hesitated for a moment, seemingly searching for the right words, and then added:
“Lord of the city, if we continue to build new mine tunnels, then the equipment for deep excavation can also be transported in! At that time, we can even directly open up the mine tunnels and reach the mining alley that the Central State government previously dug.”
"The large mining equipment there is extremely valuable and well-preserved. Once repaired, it will definitely still be usable. It was brought in by a general personally sent by the Central Plains government using his extremely strong spatial abilities."
Even now, Chen Hai still believes that Li Yu's drastic measures are ultimately aimed at continuing to mine the abundant mineral reserves beneath Kangcheng.
However, after witnessing Huang Shasha's ability to turn the impossible into possible, his previously unattainable mining plan suddenly seemed within reach.
Chen Hai changed his mind; perhaps it really was possible to continue mining.
Li Yu's heart skipped a beat. The massive machine underground was actually placed there by the Central Continent government.
He nodded noncommittally; Chen Hai's words made sense.
But all of this depends on the establishment of the handover base.
"You all stay outside, I'll go take a look myself." Li Yu said, and without waiting for their response, he stepped into the mine.
As soon as Li Yu entered, she sensed the difference; it was a world of difference compared to the last time she entered.
